This incredible quantum innovation is a two-in-one system combining the abilities of a mechanical oscillator and a superconducting qubit. Compared to the traditional virtual qubits that are ...

cooled a mechanical oscillator to a temperature of 25 mK with a dilution refrigerator, and then used a superconducting quantum bit (qubit) to measure the quantum state of the device. The UCSB team ...

The recent study by Vool, Poccia, Brosco and their colleagues brings this idea back to create a new superconducting qubit. "As superconducting circuits developed, there were several proposals to ...

Now researchers may have found a way to use both electromagnetic qubits and mechanical resonators to create a hybrid form that acts like a mechanical qubit, with quite long (200 µs) coherence time.
